Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the training, students will be able to:
- determine the extent of information needed & access the needed information effectively and efficiently,
- select relevant data through the analysis of information as it is advocated in the evidence-based medicine approach,
- apprehend scientific communication: process and stakes of scientific publishing, principles of scientific writing and oral scientific communication.
